12. Schumer should probably stop making endorsements at this point

anyway, at the end of the day Schumer wants the exact thing all of us want, flip and retain as many Democratic Senate seats as possible. Schumer will throw his full support behind all Democratic Senate nominees.

As far as who will be the new Senate Leader, it probably will not be Schumer, but I am curious to see who is going to step up and say they want the job. It's not a fun job. You have to work with Senators from Warren, to Slotkin, to Fetterman and keep them on the same page. The time for that conversation though will be after the midterm elections. Whether Democrats are able to become the majority or remain in the minority will be a huge factor in determining leadership and who actually wants it.
